March Green Drinks

Recycle Utah

Join Recycle Utah for March Green Drinks on March 10th from 6-8 pm to learn about developments in electronics and battery recycling.

Miners Hospital Community Center

Most of us have a drawer full of old phones, chargers, and cables, but very few people know what actually happens after we drop them off for recycling. This talk offers a behind-the-scenes look at why electronics can’t be handled the same way as ordinary household waste, how they can be both a safety risk and a valuable source of materials, and why modern recycling programs exist in the first place. Find out where our gadgets actually go after we’re finished using them — and why it matters more than most people realize.Appetizers and beverages will be served. This is a 21+ event.
